When an aqueous solution of magnesium nitrate is mixed with an aqueous solution of potassium carbonate, ____________.?
spin [16.1K]
  <span>Ca(NO3)2 + Na2CO3 = CaCO3 + 2NaNO3 
Yes a precipitate of Calcium Carbonate is formed since it is insoluble in water. 
Mol Wt of Calcium Nitrate is 164. And that of Calcium Carbonate is 100. 
One mole of Calcium Nitrate produces one mole of Calcium Carbonate. 
i.e. 164 gms will produce 100gms of precipitate 
So, 1.74gms of Calcium Carbonate will be obtained from 2.85gms Calcium Nitrate present in the original solution.</span>

How would you test a colorless crystalline compound to determine if it was a hydrate?
Cloud [144]

A hydrate is a substance where in it contains water and other constituent elements. To know whether if that compound was a hydrate,you should record its mass, then put it in a test tube and heat it with a Bunsen burner. If the compound is a hydrate, the water in the compound will discharge in the form of water vapor. At the next 5-10 minutes, remove it in the test tube and weigh it up again. If the mass is now fewer, that means that there was water existing that has now evaporated, and the compound was a hydrate.

A slice of Swiss cheese contains 47 mg of sodium. (a) What is this mass in grams? .047 (b) What is this mass in ounces? (16 oz =
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

(a) 0.047 g (b) 0.0016 oz (c) 0.0001 lb

Explanation:

The given mass of the sodium in the slice = 47 mg

(a) Mass has to be calculated in grams

The conversion of mg to g is shown below as:

1 mg = 10⁻³ g

So,

<u>Mass of sodium = 47 × 10⁻³ g = 0.047 g</u>

(b) Mass has to be calculated in ounces

The conversion of ounces to g is shown below as:

453.6 g = 16 oz

Or,

1 g = 16 / 453.6 oz

So,

<u>Mass of sodium = (0.047 × 16) / 453.6 oz = 0.0016 oz</u>

(c) Mass has to be calculated in pounds

The conversion of pounds to g is shown below as:

1 lb = 453.6 g

Or,

1 g = 1/ 453.6 lb

So,

<u>Mass of sodium = (0.047 × 1) / 453.6 oz = 0.0001 lb</u>
